The possibility of a collision of a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) satellite with another orbiting object is a matter of concern to NASA. One hypothesis being investigated is that by slightly altering the TDRSS satellite orbits with changes to eccentricity and argument of perigee (AOP), the number of possible conjunctions between the TDRSS fleet members and other satellites and debris would decrease. This paper presents the results of analysis completed to hypothesis.
